The Poet Empress Audiobook by Shen Tao— narrated by Eric Yang and Katharine Chin
A LibraryReads Pick
The Poet Empress is Shen Tao's dark, dazzling fantasy debut, set in the crumbling Azalea Dynasty where magic lives inside poetry and women are forbidden to read. To save her starving family, Wei Yin sells herself into a brutal royal house and discovers she can wield the one power the empire worked hardest to keep from her. For readers of She Who Became the Sun and R.F. Kuang.
Why the audiobook wins
Eric Yang and Katharine Chin narrate an empire where magic lives in spoken poetry, which makes this a book almost designed to be heard. Chin gives Wei Yin the control of someone forever weighing the cost of a single word, and the names and cadences land with a care print can't quite manage. When the spells are recited aloud, the whole conceit clicks into place.
